My name is Lizeth (ستِلي(, and I am a 3rd year student
here at Loyola majoring in Global Studies and Minoring in Arabic. I grew up here in Chicago in a community reflective of my ethnic background. Both my parents are Mexican Immigrants and thus I grew up speaking both Spanish and English fluently. My Arabic journey started here at Loyola through the teaching and guidance of ustaadha sawsan ْستاذة َسوَسن) ُأ ) and with the help of my wonderful Arabic classmates who made studying and learning Arabic the most special and transformative experience. My love for the language only continues to grow through every tutoring session I give, every poem I study with ustaadha, and every Arabic literature class I take here at Loyola. I am eternally grateful for ustaadha and all she has done to cultivate engaging and artful Arabic lessons and giving me this opportunity. I hope to share not only what I have learned but my love for the language in hopes to help other students and engage them to learn such a beautiful and expressive language, in shaa Allah (هللا شاء إن( Sign up with an appointment with me at this LLRC Appointment Center

Laurice AIDaoud
MarHabaa! My name is Laurice AlDaoud and I am a junior at LUC majoring in Biomedical Engineering in the pre-med track and minoring in Arabic. I was raised in Fuheis a small town in Jordan and moved to Chicago to continue my studies. I had become familiar with Arabic, through my studies during school as well as speaking it with my social circle and exposure to social media. Arabic may be regarded as one of the hardest languages to learn at an older age, but hopefully during these classes I will help you with your grammar, pronunciation, and basic communication skills. I am available from 1pm till 3pm twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays; don't hesitate to contact me then with any concerns and questions. Thank you and I hope this will be a fruitful course for both you and I. Thanks! Sign up with an appointment with me at this LLRC Appointment Center
